We have sold over "80,000" of these grinders in the past 7 years with a 99.5% Customer Satisfaction Rating.

POLISHED CAST ALUMINUM SIZE #12 GRINDING HEAD

The Grinding Head on this grinder is a Size #12 and not a smaller size #5 or #8 like most kitchen grinders. This #12 size grinding head features a durable aluminum meat pan that has a hopper opening measuring an impressive 2 1/8 inches. This larger pan opening allows for bigger cuts of meat to be fed to the grinding plates, thereby reducing your meat preparation and processing time. The 4 parts of this Grinding Head (head, meat pan, auger or snake, and front lock nut) are manufactured out of 100% Polished Cast Aluminum (NOT Coated). These parts should NOT be washed in the dishwasher, but should be washed with a mild detergent (like Dawn Liquid) and hot water, towel dried and stored in a dry place.

3 TEMPERED/HARDENED STEEL GRINDING PLATES

This unit comes standard with 3 Tempered/Hardened Steel Grinding Plates (Course, Medium & Fine). The diameter of the grinding plates are 2 5/8 Inches (the Standard for a Size #12 Grinder) which makes for a much faster "grind" due to the larger output for the meat that you are grinding. The grinding plate that looks like a "Wagon Wheel" is used for a Coarse Grind, the grinding plate with the Medium Holes (1/4" Diameter Holes) is used for a Medium Grind and the grinding plate with the Small Holes (5/32 Inch Diameter Holes) is used for a Fine Grind. Please note that these Grinding Plates are made from Hardened/Tempered Steel and should NOT be washed in the dishwasher. They should be washed with a mild detergent (like Dawn Liquid) and hot water, towel dried immediately, coated with a food grade oil or food grade silicone and stored in a plastic bag ready for their next use.

"BEANER PLATE" (SAUSAGE STUFFING PLATE)

This grinder also comes with what is called a "Beaner Plate", otherwise known as a Sausage Stuffing Plate. These plates are made specifically for use in electric meat grinders when you want to stuff sausage as they let more sausage flow through the grinding head into the sausage casing.

3 EACH #304 GRADE STAINLESS STEEL CUTTING BLADES

This unit also comes with 3 Each #304 Grade Stainless Steel Cutting Blades. We include the 3 Cutting Blades so you can match up one Cutting Blade with one of each of the 3 Grinding Plates included so they are a Matched Set. When you match up a Cutting Blade with a Grinding Plate as a set, this keeps the cutting blades much sharper and you will get a much faster and more precise "Grind" on your meat. Since the cutting blades are manufactured out of Stainless Steel, you can wash these either by hand or put them in the dishwasher.

Mount the cutting blade on the front of the auger. PLEASE NOTE the flat sharpened part of the cutting blade should be facing OUT, otherwise it WILL NOT GRIND properly

* DO NOT WASH ANY PARTS OF THIS GRINDER IN THE DISHWASHER!!! The 4 parts ofthe grinding head (head locking cap, auger, grinding head & meat hopper) are made from100% cast aluminum. Wash these in liquid dishwashing detergent (like Dawn) and hot water,towel dry immediately and store for the next use. Do not soak parts in water for long periodsof time - they WILL discolor. Do not wash and lay flat to air dry - they WILL discolor.

SET OF 3 SAUSAGE TUBES & KUBBE ATTACHEMENT

A Set of 3 Sizes of Sausage Stuffing Tubes along with the Adapter are shown here. The Diameter of the Sausage Stuffing Tubes are 3/4 Inch, 5/8 Inch and 1/2 Inch. These attachments allow you to create your very own sausage combinations. A Kubbe (also know as a Kibbe) Attachment also comes with this grinder (Not Pictured).

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

I received my STX MEGAFORCE 3000W WITH "COWL AIR INDUCTION COOLING SYSTEM" - 3000 WATT" 3.4 HP meat grinder yesterday. It arrived right on time and in perfect condition.

I bought this grinder to make my own raw dog food and knew I needed one rugged enough to chew through chicken bones. I considered the STX 1800 WATT" 2.4 HP model since it has such glowing reviews, but this one was only a few dollars more and had more 'ponies under the hood' so I sprung for the newer model. I also liked the idea of the cowl air induction cooling system this model has as I plan on using this machine for many years to come and the cooling system should keep this one running optimally for the long haul. I have to tell you, I am not disappointed!

I had it put together and grinding twenty pounds of chicken wings within a matter of minutes after pulling it out of the box. I hand washed all the parts that would touch the food and began grinding. What I noticed right off the bat was that this machine is quiet for such a powerful grinder. I fully expected it to be much, much louder, but was pleasantly surprised.

The chicken wings were about half frozen (which is recommended for optimum grinding) and still had the skin on and this machine ground them up easy as pie. Once or twice on a particularly thick bone it hesitated for about a second, then ground it up quickly and thoroughly. It did all twenty pounds without missing a beat - in fact, I had a hard time keeping up with the machine! It was grinding them that fast and easy.Read more ›

I am an avid hunter. For the past 2 years I have purchased 3 different expensive grinders that flat out couldnt do the job. This year I bought the Mega Force 3000 air cooled from mercantile station. Still skeptical due to bad experiences, I felt it was going to be a repeat of previous years. I WAS WRONG. Not only was this unit less expensive than the other non working models I bought, IT PERFORMED PERFECTLY. I could not believe how fast and efficient it was. Literally grinded the deer meat pretty much as quick as I could load it. I clean my deer down to the bone and grind what I can get in there that is palatable and this grinder didnt slow down for a single second. I am not easy to satisfy but will be the first to admit that this grinder will do the job. You will not go wrong buying from Mercantile Station and the grinder is great. Clean up is so easy, everything comes apart to wash and goes back together in seconds. Something else, I was so skeptical I sent mercantile station an email telling them of my problems with grinders and wanted one that worked. Their communication, product knowledge and shipping was excellent. Highly recommend Mercantile Station and the Mega Force 3000 air cooled. Good Hunting

While this is the first meat grinder I have ever owned, this unit has exceeded my expectations. It ground up 42 pounds of deer meat without a single hiccup. The whole process took about an hour, and honestly the grinder worked much faster than I could. The meat came out quicker than I could stuff it in! Also worth noting I partially froze the meat, mixed in some beef fat, and ran it all through the grinder TWICE. So that's actually 84 pounds of meat it ground. . .again, never jammed, never a hiccup.

UPDATE: I've now used this grinder on 5 different occasions, last time grinding up over 100 pounds of meat. Just to see if I could, I did manage to jam the grinder, but I literally had to shove a whole block of nearly totally frozen meat into the feeder tube to do it. After it jammed (not suprising at all), I reset the built-in breaker, backed up the grinder, threw it in forward again and it powered through that huge chunk. Again. . .simply an amazing piece of equipment. Worth every star available. The only down side I can think of is the noise. it's quite loud in operation, but I'm not sure that's suprising given the size of the motor. I have no experience with other grinder so I can't compare to other models.

Just as important, the company (Mecantile Station) has the best customer service of any company I have ever interacted with. And I don't say that kind of thing lightly. I called and e-mailed with a question prior to ordering and got a response in BOTH e-mail and a call back. Their policy is to return *every* phone call, and they do. And they do it promptly. There was also a small SNAFU with the shipping (PayPal's fault not Mercantile Station) which was quickly resolved at no cost to me. . .again Mercantile Station fixed a problem that they had no part in causing. . .AMAZING. In the future, if I need anything at all I'll be checking to see if these folks have it, and if they do, I will buy it from them.

I will keep this short and sweet. I made this purchase to grind my own hamburger meat and make sausage as well. I don't grind bones up with this but I can't say enough about this machine. If you need a quality meat grinder than look no further. My wife and I ground 15 pounds of meat in about 5 minutes!!! It comes with all the attachments you need and the service after the purchase is nothing less than fantastic. This grinder is HEAVY DUTY in all respects.AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
